The NFL lifted Walker's 12-game suspension Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Walker was served with a 12-game suspension by the league in early August. Now that the suspension has been lifted, the 2018 third-rounder can look to sign with a team in need of depth in the secondary. Walker last saw regular-season action in 2023 with the Lions, when he tallied 59 tackles (42 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses and one forced fumble across 17 games.

Walker has been suspended for 12 games, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Walker last played in the NFL in 2023, and the reason for his suspension is currently unknown. The 2018 third-round pick appeared in all 17 regular-season games for Detroit in 2023 and logged 59 tackles (42 solo), with 1.0 sacks, and is still eligible to sign with a team at any point during his suspension.

The 49ers agreed to terms with Walker on Wednesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. The 29-year-old was a third-round pick of the Lions in 2018 and appeared in 79 games for Detroit, making 43 starts across six seasons. Walker appeared in all 17 regular-season games last year, recording 59 tackles (42 solo), two pass breakups and one sack. Walker gives the 49ers safety depth behind Talanoa Hufanga and Ji'Ayir Brown.

Walker did not log a snap on defense during Saturday's win over the Broncos. A struggling Lions secondary is looking for answers, and Walker has now gone two straight games with all of his snaps coming on special teams while Ifeatu Melifonwu logged nearly every rep on defense. While C.J. Gardner-Johnson is returning soon to reclaim the starting job anyway, Walker does not appear to be a part of the rotation at all anymore.

Walker registered six tackles (three solo) including a sack in Monday's 26-14 win over the Raiders. Walker's sack came on the Raiders' final drive in the fourth quarter on a third-down play that ultimately led to a turnover on downs. It was his first sack since Week 1 of the 2022 season, and his 35 tackles on the year is second on the team behind Alex Anzalone's 57.
